RPMs never really gave me trouble. Now-days the errors are generally caused at the packaging end and the dependancies are automatically installed.
It sucks, however, when you install the new kernel and Nvidia drivers but, because you're booting from another drive with a different Grub, the graphics driver fails and X crashes. I know better now, but non-standard set-ups can cause issues.
Damn Small Linux was good for the ten minutes I played with it. But I've never looked at it since.
If I can just get Beryl working on my new dual-head setup, I'll be happier, as I've seen a number of Ubuntu desktops doing it no trouble.
After downloading 8GBs over the course of two months, I can afford to persevere for a while yet.
But, yeah, I can see how people would like to avoid Fedora...
